WWE has recently reintroduced the Uncle Howdy character, last seen in Bray Wyatt’s final storyline, along with a new faction inspired by Wyatt’s creations. Uncle Howdy, played by Bo Dallas, Bray’s real-life brother, continues to be a focal point despite fans’ concerns about continuing Bray’s story without him. Their sister has emphasized the importance of this project to the family. The interview between Howdy and Bo on the June 24 episode of Raw addresses these concerns and weaves them into the new group’s storyline.
During the July 8 episode of WWE RAW, Uncle Howdy made another appearance with a cryptic segment. During the Jey Uso vs. Chad Gable match, the lights went out in Wyatt Sicks’ style. After Uso speared Gable for the win, the ring filled with smoke, and the Wyatt Sicks’ music played. Nikki Cross then delivered a package to Michael Cole, which Pat McAfee later opened to reveal another VHS tape. WWE, prepared for this outdated media, had a VCR ready to play the tape.
The tape showed Uncle Howdy speaking to Bo Dallas, asking about his family. Bo talked about the “discarded and forgotten,” saying he “gave them a purpose” and expressed that they were happy to be remembered despite past abandonment. The video showcased each member of the Wyatt Sicks without their masks. Bo stated they needed no master and questioned if they were “sick,” to which the voice responded affirmatively. The segment ended with Bo saying, “then sick is what we’ll be.”
After that segment aired, it showed Adam Pearce going into his office, where Bo Dallas was there waiting for him.
WWE appears to be taking a slow-burn approach with this storyline, aiming to maximize its impact. Kevin Nash has voiced concerns about the angle’s potential outcome, but the intent is to honor Bray Wyatt’s legacy. Fans are keen to see where the story leads and hope it will properly pay tribute to the man behind it all.
